The Expansion of Czech Capital to Serbia in 1900-1918 and its Political Aspects: The Case of Pražská úvěrní banka
Arlt, Jan ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Velek, Luboš (referee)
This work is devoted to the export of Czech financial capital by nationally Czech banks to the Kingdom of Serbia between 1900 and 1918 and the political aspects of their activities there. The political side of these activities, which was strongly determined by the geopolitical circumstances of the time, especially the deteriorating relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia and the subsequent outbreak of the First World War, is examined here in the case of the most successful Czech financial institution operating in this Balkan state, Pražská úvěrní banka. The involvement of this institution in political activities, which include, among other things, the connections of the representatives of its branch in Belgrade to the so-called "Serbophile" movement, and their consequences after the occupation of Serbia by the armies of the Central Powers during the First World War, are illustrated here mainly by the interesting personal stories of specific actors of capital export and members of the Czech emancipation movement.

Political development of the National Libaral Party to 1914.
Černá, Pavlína ; Stracený, Josef (advisor) ; Lánský, Ondřej (referee)
This Master's thesis is depicting the development of the National Liberal Party, from the earliest stage in the 1860s, up to the year 1914. This depiction is based on expert texts as well as historical and political science literature. The thesis is focused on the political background in Austria and subsequently also Austria-Hungary. The historical part of the thesis is primarily focused on the absolute regime, as well as the national efforts to liberalize the constitutional and political demands. A standalone part of the thesis is dedicated to the division between the Old Czech Party and the Young Czech Party, primarily focusing on their political differences and shared nationalism. The establishment of the National Liberal Party in 1874 was followed by its political and agenda development. The political development is depicted in its election results, as well as its functioning in the parliament of Cisleithania. Since 1879, both the Old Czech Party and the Young Czech Party participated in defending the human rights in Vienna's Czechen-Club. The year 1891 brought about a large change when the National Liberal Party won in the election against the National Party and so became the hegemon of Czech politics. This thesis pays special attention to the work of the Young Czech Party in the Národní listy...

Horská, Monika ; Sekera, Martin (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The thesis Národní listy 1910 - 1914 is focused on the period of ownership change of Národní listy, which was bought by Pražská akciová tiskárna (Prague share printing house) in 1910 from the family of the deceased founder Dr. Julius Grégr. The daily journal, which has retained a degree of independence, has become the official press authority of the political party Národní strana by this sale, mainly represented by Karel Kramář and Alois Rašín. In individual chapters, I am gradually analyzing the underlying materials from which I drew for my work by putting Národní listy in the context of the time and circumstances that led to the creation of the daily journal. The thesis is also aimed to the activities of the preparatory committee, which initiated and succeeded in obtaining the Národní listy for the mladočeská political party. The main part of the text deals with the business transaction itself, illustrates the financial backstage of the company Pražská akciová tiskárna, examines the documents that accompanied the purchase and its preparation and describes the subsequent modernisation of the whole enterprise.

Karel Kramář, Roman Dmowski and Russia
Eidrnová, Markéta ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Švec, Luboš (referee)
The thesis introduces the comparison of political approaches of Karel Kramář and Roman Dmowski towards Russia or rather towards the Russian factor. At the beginning of the 20th century these two politicians from the national-democratic circles decided independently of each other to look for a help in order to achieve independence of their nations within Russia. They were not lead only by objective reasons because Russia seemed to be the most acceptable and the most appropriate variant but also by subjective feelings, like for example their antagonism towards Germans and Germany itself or in case of Karel Kramář his affection for anything Russian. The Russian factor did not disappear from their conceptions even after the creation of an independent Czechoslovakia and Poland and it continued to be a permanent part of these conceptions. Kramář was faithful to his idea of future democratic Russia and the Slavic federation headed by this new Russia and even the Bolshevik Revolution could change his mind. Kramář assumed that Czechoslovakia could only be permanently safe by the union with democratic Russia. Although Kramář laid more emphasis on the Russian factor than Dmowski, Russia did not lose its importance for Dmowski. However, the importance gradually declined after the creation of independent...
